ET even has already a Facebook-page. But same as it ever was, maintaining such new tools is about man power - fte's or volunteers. As things are, I've a few minutes per day left, if any. Without Frank, this place would be mostly standing still.

I find Facebook too flighty and too disorganized by design, but it's where I see many of the active ET-commenters re-appear. So even Tribbers have moved on. ET may yet return as a platform for information sharing, international discussion and fierce disagreements - but I suspect it can only happen if it sheds its skin.
